The moon

[Vforvictory7]

How would I calculate the speed of going from the earth to the moon in a second?

i plugged the number in a calculator i got

1383840000 km/h

The most exact calculation would be to know when this feat takes place, since the moon doesn't just stay an exact amount away from the Earth, but rather gets closer or moves father depending on the time of year because the orbit isn't a perfect circle.

But on average, the moon is 238,855 miles away from Earth according to NASA, which is 384,399,861.1 meters away, or 384,399.8611 km from Earth. Then you just divide by 1 because it only takes one second and you get 384,399 km/s, which is FTL.

So if this was fiction would I use pixel calculation?

No, you'd just use the average value and divide by one second

Unless in the story the moon is canonically closer to the Earth than normal, you would just use the real-life calculations.

Why is this even a thread LMAO

Just google Earth-Moon distance in meters, divide the value with one second and you get your speed value in m/s.

Why is there talk of pixel-scaling such a natural phenomena is beyond me.

yeah speed is very basic, its just distance divided by time
